3. Functional Cookies (Future)

When we add features like saved preferences or theme selection, we may use functional cookies. You will be notified before these are implemented.

4. Marketing Cookies (Not Currently Used)

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and request your consent.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Browser Controls

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

Opt-Out of Analytics

To opt out of analytics tracking:

  • Easiest: Decline our consent banner when it appears (or clear localStorage key "rtx-consent" to reset your choice)
  • Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
  • Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
  • Use privacy-focused browsers or extensions (e.g., Brave, uBlock Origin)

Current Implementation

We use strictly necessary cookies for site functionality. Analytics tools (Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity) are only loaded after you accept our consent banner. You can decline the banner or opt out anytime using the methods above.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you disable cookies:

  • Analytics cookies: We won't be able to analyze site usage, but the site will function normally
  • Strictly necessary cookies: Some features may not work (e.g., login, security)

Third-Party Cookies

Our site may contain links to third-party sites (GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter). These sites have their own cookie policies, which we do not control. Review their privacy policies before providing information.

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features or comply with regulations. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
